What to expect

• Average day could involve more than 6-7 hrs of walking.
• We will be covering difficult and glaciated terrain where use of ropes and technical mountaineering equipment like crampons, harness, carabiners, descenders etc could come into play.
• On these trips one is required to stay at high altitudes for lengthy periods of time and hence  acclimatization is always a must
• Due to the unpredictable nature of the terrain and the snow/ ice conditions in the high mountains hence always have a contingency day of two built into the plan.
• These trips would last more than two weeks and go to wild, remote places completely cut off from civilization.
